Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Cautions Back Pain Sufferers About Lifting and Flexion
Controversy. There is oftentimes controversy in medicine. Controversy can also push medicine to clarity. Such is the case of lifting in a flexed position and its impact on your spine. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor cautions Fort Wayne back pain patients to carefully bend, lift and twist as these initiate low back pain for lots of us. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic still does. Recent studies explain more about the effects of flexion and lifting on the spine and its experience of back pain.
FLEXION LIFTING: NO INFLUENCE
A new research study examined numerous studies about the impact lumbar spine flexion has and its influence on low back pain onset/persistence. Researchers found that lumbar spine flexion lifting was not a determining factor for people with and without low back pain. These investigations weren’t specific as to types of people. They studied two types of people: those with and those without back pain. (1) Other research projects studied specific kinds of people.
FLEXION LIFTING: INFLUENTIAL FOR WORKERS
Researchers decided that the result of forward bending on low back pain depended on the kind of job, gender and other such specific factors of workers. They found that construction workers’ experience of low back pain was not influenced by the amount of time they were bending forward. They discovered that healthcare workers’ experience of low back pain was affected by the angle of forward bending (more than or equal to 30 degrees triggered low back pain while over 60 degree did not). (2) Warehouse workers’ experience of low back pain is influenced by their lifting capacity and psychosocial work environment. Researchers texted workers asking about their low back pain, mental stress, and bodily fatigue over the course of 3 weeks then at one year. They hoped that a better designed work week (work days vs rest days) and a set reasonable maximum lifting threshold per day will assist in preventing low back pain and lessen stress. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic works to ensure our work environment is stress-less and low-back-pain-diminishing for everyone, our staff and our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients equally!
